If there is a problem with the Windows registry keys in the Lotus Notes Client or the Domino Server, you may receive the following error: IBM Lotus Notes does not have a production license.

It is common in mail files with archiving enabled to have
documents left in the mail file that seem like they should of met the archive
criteria. For example, a user or administrator may have archiving set up
to archive all documents that are 'not modified' in the last 90 days and
have a calendar entry, that is 6 months old.

Documents that do not archive that may seem like they
meet the archive criteria include:

Documents that contain the $NoPurge purge field

Documents that contain the ProtectFromArchive field

The last modified date is more current than the creation
date

Documents with ancestors (contains a $ref field)

For
Calendar entries specifically check to see if it is a:

$NOPURGE field that exists and is greater than current
time

DueDate field that exists and is greater than current
time

EndDateTime field that exists and is greater than current
time

Repeating calendar meetings

Unprocessed calendar entries (confirming)

To override these exceptions and archive documents despite their field values or modified dates. a user can always select Actions -> Archive -> Archive Selected Documents from the Actions menu. For archiving the selected documents from source database to destination archive database but not delete from source database when the $NoPurge=1 or ProtectFromArchive=1.

Is there a way to work around the $noPurge issue when archiving is server/policy based. The user cannot interact with archive in this case. We don't want to count on them anyway. This ahs been going on since we started purging years ago on Release 6. Domino and Notes 8.0x, iSeries.

Is this more of a forum thing than a wiki thing?

Thank you.

Archiving - Documents that do not archive and seem like they should

How do I override this for applications? I have an application where the archive settings (in the database properties) are set to archive anything not modified in the last 550 days (about a year and a half). The database has many documents that were created 3 years ago, but modified 15 months ago by an agent. The scheduled archive won't get rid of them, and there is no "archive selected docs" option in application dbs.
